Fate/EXTRA: Ruby

Artist Comment

Dedicated to CyanideBlizzard, 'cause I know he Love this version of Saber, and to thanks
him for his kind last comment :3 ~ Hope you'll like this version too !

Okay !

This drawing was done eeeeh... 3 or 4 month ago ? =O
I want to do my own version of Nero, with my style, 'cause she inspire me a lot !

When I draw this, I wanted to do all the most perfect possible : anatomy, expression, colors, shading, effects... If I
remind me, it's the only drawing where I'm working with this mentality. And I also think it's one one my best drawing,
but not my favourite.Of course, nothing is really perfect, don't have enough practise *kof kof*
Anyways, I take a loooong time to do this one, asking of many friends to tell me if something's wrong on somes WIP I
showed them.

Done with SAI, it take me about 15h, if I remember correctly !

Normally, the BG is transparent due to light effect, so it's why I put a grey BG. I also
think taht grey have a better render than black for this drawing.

One of the thing I mentioned before on your previous Saber variation is that I like how you create your own style while
still paying tribute to the original work.

One of the impressions I always got from the Fate/Extra video game was that Nero was somewhat masculine, yet still
embraced her femininity through all things beautiful and I think you really captured that perfectly with this
image.

I also like how your work is slightly rough, yet still has that bit of refinement to it as well. It's also very
ambitious for someone to go after a piece with a good amount of detail involved, as that outfit is rather detailed, and
also not skimp on the background itself. The ruby throne was also a very nice tough as well for elegance and royalty.

As Drakill said, it definitely shows that you put a lot of time and effort into this piece. The level of detail is
definitely there, and I look forward to seeing you just go further up from here. Great work!

Quote by DrakillLooks good! It must've taken a long time to do the whole thing.

Thank you ^.^

Woops, I've post my answer to Drakill as the same time of your comment !

Once time again, thank you a lot for your kind comment !

By the way, I never played to Fate/EXTRA (Don't have a psp... T_____________T), so I not
really know the personnality of the character. I just try to guess with some artwork I see, but that's all :3 And somes informations on the TYPE-MOON's Wikipedia, but english and me sometimes...
We're no friends XD
